📝 Detailed information
🏢 About the local organisation
Veraldarvinir – Worldwide Friends (WF Iceland) was founded in 2001 as a non-profit, non-governmental organization promoting peace, friendship and international understanding.
We host short-term voluntary work camps, mid and long-term voluntary projects (3-8 months), seminars (suitable for both young people and adults), youth exchanges, educational programmes and campaigns in Iceland. We also send abroad Icelandic volunteers who wish to have similar experiences. We are active in the Erasmus+ program.
Mission: Promoting inter-cultural learning, exchange and awareness. Preserving Icelandic nature and raising awareness about environmental issues. Promoting voluntary work and a culture of volunteering.
💼 What the programme involves
The volunteers will also have the option to help with the following tasks:
• Updating the website of the organization www.wf.is and social medias
• Coordinating and preparing the environmental awareness section of the WF Newsletter.
• Updating our database on brochures/reports/trainings/seminars/others.
• Preparing and distributing documents concerning different activities.
• Working in the office, with computer and usual modern facilities.
The volunteers can visit and/or participating in other workcamps in different regions in Iceland if they are interested.
Working hours: The working hours are 9 – 15 Monday – Friday. During the workcamps the volunteers are asked to share their free time with the rest of the group, such as going to the swimming pool, playing cards, listening to music, cooking and having dinner and going for walks. All depending on the field of interest of each volunteer.
🎒 Leisure activities
At the beginning of the project, they will receive qualified training from the organisation members. This training will capacitate them to perform the projects´ activities, which vary between leading workshops, cleaning beaches to taking care of environmental awareness campaigns and sustainability. At the same time they will receive guidance in how to plan, organize and lead the projects, including topics as group management, conflict resolution, bookkeeping, development, leader roles, inter cultural cooperation, motivation, etc. They will also receive practical information about planning a project, spare time activities, first aid, etc.
